Life Imitating Art

Sometimes Ezra and I like to imitate Michelangelo's The Creation of Adam at the public library. Just kidding. This was actually taken right after Ezra took his first 4 consecutive steps. He had been taking 1 step for awhile, so I feel like I can document this day, January 17, 2015, as the day he finally began walking. Yes, he walked right over to his favorite over-sized bear, gave him a big slobbery kiss and hug, and collapsed in his lap. 

Now he toddles around all over the place, but he hasn't taken off completely yet, so we haven't been able to catch any of it in video. I'm sure some will come soon though. :)

Library Play and Learn Baby Group

Each Thursday, Ezra and I got to our local library to take part in the baby play group. He loves it. It is a great opportunity to get out of the house, play with new (to him) toys, and socialize with other babies. He is a bit shy at first, but he always warms up once the toys come out. 

Einstein allegedly said, "Play is the highest form of research." I hope Ezra's brain (and social skills) will thank me later. But mostly, I hope I am always able to make time for wonderful community programs, like this, with all my children.

He made a friend! And then they plotted escape together.

RING RING! He is getting to be such a big tall boy!

Stuffed animals, especially the big ones, are always a favorite. HUGS!

And of course you can't leave the library without checking out a few board books. The library is a gift that keeps giving all week long.
